45 minutes to work

Gosh!
it's been a hectic start for a predicted hectic day
i know it's not good to sigh and complain
who cares anyway

with the paper that needs to be presented today i didn't feel pressure at all.
i woke up early in the morning. i even had time to eat breakfast which i rarely do because of time constraint. aftr breakfast i headed to work a little bit late to avoid the peak hours where there's lots of cars. traffic was smooth.. it was 8.35 a.m

so the journey to work continued to be as i expected. not until i arrived at the nilai tol. there was a major pile up from the nilai 315 exit. as i swerved through the cars left and right until i was forced to a stop. then i waited.waited. and waited some more but it only managed to budge a bit. i was nervous as i would be late as my presentation is at 9a.m.

then when 15 minutes passed by and i was still beyond the tol gate. i started to freak out. the nerves were hitting me 'big time'. phrases and words from the presentation started to flood my mind. it distracted me from focusing on the road until i realized that people were honking at me because there was a huge gap from my car to the car in front of me.

suddenly as i was proceeding closer to the car. a gigantic bus swerved in front of me taking the space. C*l***! the bus was so big it freaked me out. luckily i managed to jam the breaks. if not.....i wouldn't be here. by the way the bus was budaya bus with the plate number(hold on, i saved it somewhere) DAH9033.damn you bus driver!

so i guess i was lucky that the bus didn't hit me. but i was still late. it usually takes me 10-15 minutes to get to work. but on this particular unlucky day it took me 45 bloody minutes!

i arrived at the meeting at 9.20 a.m. i composed myself before entering the meeting room, luckily my turn wasn't up yet. so in the end, the conclusion for my presentation is= it rawked!!maybe if i wasn't in this chaos it would have turned out the other way around.. who knows.. i'm just grateful that everything turned out well and the bus didn't crash me.

moral of the story: reload your touch n go card
